Popis: Membrane proteins play important functions, such as cellular communication and transferring materials in the cell. Many membrane proteins are involved in human diseases. However, little information is available on their structure, stability and folding. To study their structure, membrane proteins should primarily be produces in large amounts. However, production of these proteins is limited by various technical issues. Developing novel strategies to circumvent these issues seems to be highly important to proceed in membrane protein science. In this review, we have summarized the recent findings which can promote membrane protein expression and purification.
